Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Eugenie Sage MP, Minister for
Conservation, Minister of Land Information and Associate Minister for the
Environment.

 

The Minister considers all correspondence to be important and thanks you
personally for taking the time to write. However as she receives a
significant volume of correspondence, and it is not always possible to
provide a personalised reply to every email:

 

·         If your message is for Minister Sage’s advice, or if you have
copied your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with
more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then this will be noted.

 

·         If you have invited Minister Sage to an event then a member of
staff may contact you for more information.

 

·         If you have made a request for official information then this
will be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official
Information Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant
Minister or agency.

 

·         If you are a journalist then your request will be passed on to
Minister Sage’s Press Secretary.
